Coop gro strawberry thick & smooth pot

I only got this because it was reduced.
The yoghurt had a smooth and mildly thick texture which was pleasant to eat however I found it a bit too artificially sweet and the strawberry to be too aromatic.

The Coconut Collaborative Mango & Passionfruit Yoghurt

While I was in London, I was given a free sample of The Coconut Collaborative Mango & Passionfruit Yoghurt.
I was quite surprised at how tasty it was.
The coconut in concern was not too offending and worked well.
Trying the yog on its own was quite comforting as it was creamy and light with that yoghurty taste and texture without being sweet.
Having it with the bottom layer gives it a more exotic fruity kick.
Overall I really recommend it.












Piccolo organic courgette pea & leek baby food

It's been a while since I reviewed some baby food so I thought I'd treat myself to some from IKEA which wasn't exactly a bargain.
The courgette pea & leek sounded good so I tried that.
Unfortunately, you could only taste the peas and a hint of mint.
I could barely taste the courgettes or the leek so to summarize it was like eating pureed mushy peas.






M&S Plant Kitchen Victoria sponge cake

Eggless and vegan cakes these days have no excuse to not taste or look the part because there are so many quality ones about.
I was excited to try the M&S Victoria Sponge cake to see how it fares with other bakeries.
Visually it looked the part and the frosting is definitely hard and stiff since it didn't get deformed during transport and the journey home but it was well protected with card around it.
I felt that the cake texture was a little crumbly and dry compared to the regular version.
Overall it wasn't bad if you ate it normally but when you taste the elements separately it wasn't nice at all.
The thing I hated most was the chalky frosting which had a gritty sugary texture.
The sponge was ok but a little dry and all you could taste was this super sweetness.
Thankfully the jam was there to the rescue.
What annoyed me was the price which would put non plant diet people off because it was 25p dearer than the regular one.
I understand it requires more r&d and different ingredients to produce this cake but I felt that it should be the same price as the regular so that people would give it a try or pump the price more to 4 quid.














Coop egg custard tarts

Tasting it chilled from the fridge, it was just sweet.
The nutmeg taste wasn't there.
When it was warmed up, the egg custard was silky smooth but sickly sweet.

Ginsters cauliflower and cheese slice - Limited edition

I was really looking forward to this new cauliflower cheese slice so got it as soon as I spotted it at Asda.
Overall it didn't disappoint but the black onion seeds somehow masks the taste of the delicate cauliflower but you do get the lovely cheesy taste from the cheese.
Although you can't taste the cauliflower, you can visually see them but chopped finely.
The cauliflower has a crunch so the texture isn't soft boiled

Coop Irresistible Cinnamon sugar knots

Unfortunately, I don't have the box for these so used the Coop picture from their website.
Anyway, these sugar knots were nice however it was hard to eat more than one as there was so much chunky brown sugar studded on them.
It was crispy on the outside and soft like cake in the middle with a very buttery taste followed the by the sugary sweetness and cinnamon.
